Hit the beach and find tons of treasure with theFisher 1280-X Aquanaut Waterproof Metal Detector! This is a popular underwater scuba, surf and sand unit. If you’ve been researching the best underwater metal detector models, the Fisher 1280-X Aquanaut has most definitely been recommended! Owners can’t say enough about its automatic turn-on-and-go ease for salt water, fresh water and even land operation. It is water-resistant to 250 feet and provides up to 75 hours of battery life, thanks to Fisher’s patented quartz-crystal circuitry. This is a deep-seeking VLF unit with 10-level discrimination. Another stand-out feature—the control box converts to a belt mount (belt clip is included) for ease of entering the water. Underwater expert Daniel Berg says he always mounts his detector on a gear bag during transport, so all he has to do is turn the detector on and start scanning. Submersible waterproof headphones are included.
